The excavation of a broch in order to try to determine the relationship between brochs and wheelhouses in the Hebrides.

The brochs are also considered within the wider context of the South Uist landscape.

Howmore: romancing the stone
Noel Fojut
308 - 310
Early in 1990 a fine late medieval carved stone was removed without permission from a ruined chapel at Howmore, South Uist. In March 1995 it was recovered in unusual circumstances and went on to acquire almost mythical status with the `curse of the stone', an idea arising after the death of the man who had originally stolen it.
